Sony or Nintendo need just a single "surprise" to raise the bar after this one.
Literally everything was leaked or known beforehand. People at MS must have been frustrated as hell.
Yea, I honestly don't get how anyone can still think Ntkrnl was controlled. He essentially ruined their entire conference. Stupid conspiracy theories...
I liked the conference, all games, no BS. I was happy they had a lot of live game demonstrations (most E3 conferences have almost no live gameplay). Did people that are complaining about the CG trailer stuff not see any of the gameplay demos? Most of those were at the beginning of the conference, so if you started in later, you might have missed many of them. It seems the way they did the conference was 2014 stuff first (with gameplay demos) and at the end stuff that's further out (mostly CG trailers, obviously, since the games are probably not ready to be shown).
Overall, it was interesting to get some of this stuff leaked early because interesting to read, but it definitely made the conference a little underwhelming. I'd give it a somewhere around an 8/10. I think had that stuff not leaked, it would have been much better (some of the leaked stuff could have been megaton). Was hoping for some more bombs, even if the games are far out (2016 and beyond).
Most excited about:
-
Halo collection: holy shit, can't wait
-
Forza Horizon 2: I'm assuming what they showed off was in-engine, looks awesome visually, will probably still play great like first, looking forward to gameplay footage
-
Inside: looks really cool and interesting
-
Ori: Liked the atmosphere and music, want to see more
-
Crackdown: Loved the first one, want to see more
-
SSOD: obviously knew about it, still want it
-
Phantom Dust: enjoyed the first one on Xbox, hoping this is fun, too
-
Fable Legends: Could see this being fun
-
ScaleBound: Looks cool, want to see more, still far off
-
Project Spark: really like the beta. Conker?? Yes, please.
